How to go back up doses after a break for surgery

I had to stop for some surgery and am not sure how to go back up the doses.

I was on 15mg for a few weeks after being on MJ for over a year. I had to stop due to a GA for knee surgery and my appetite has come back. I think this is partly as I am immobile for awhile and am bored.

I had a dose of about 6mg after the break and want to titrate back up but not sure how fast to do this. I really don’t want side effects especially when my mobility is not good.

Has anyone experienced this ? I was thinking of doing 7.5 today and seeing how I am and maybe doing shorter dose intervals if I have no side effects.

I have about 10lb to goal and am so close but feels so difficult to get the last bit off. I would have lost 10 stone so am also aware some of the weight may be loose skin but that’s a whole different issue …..

it would be helpful to hear of how you have found side effects when restarting after an enforced break.

After a break of two weeks you are advised to start again at 2.5 if we are talking Mounjaro. I forgot about this and was planning on jabbing every two weeks following the price rise. So I went Thursday - Monday week which was 11 days and jabbed 15 yesterday. I would just whizz through doses every four or 5 weeks personally until it stopped working
